The most important thing during my immersion is social welfare and politics. WiLDCOAST is involved with social welfare because they give people free vaccinations to people that are ocean users, they are making doctors experienced in ocean related illnesses, they are working with Imperial Beach Medical Center to recognize ocean symptoms. They do a lot to try and help the health of people by making better programs for them and trying to find a solution from the root of the problem. Since they know that a lot of pollution comes from, such as working in the Tijuana River Valley, they do a lot to try and get it cleaned up, they have clean-ups, they try and find out what kinds of chemicals are sent out from polluted water and they look at where all the trash is coming from. WiLDCOAST is all about social welfare because they do a lot to better the health of the people in the community.
WiLDCOAST is into politics because they try and change legislature so that Mexico and the U.S. can work together to help fix the problem of pollution in both countries. They want to do something so that both countries benefit from the solution to the pollution problem that is in both countries. One of the solutions would be that the United States could work along side Mexico and give them the resources that they need. Tijuana has the same budget that the small city of Del Mar has, Del Mar is about 1/5 the size of Tijuana and has about 1/5 of the people. Tijuana has a constant amount of people coming in ever year and for that reason, Tijuana needs more resources. If we could help Tijuana with their resources, they could have more money to take care of things such as waste control and possibly start a recycling program.
Overall, WiLDCOAST is really dedicated to social welfare and politics. This non-profit organization tries to make the ocean better for everyone that gets into it, they also try to make everything healthier for everyone, if Tijuana has to live with polluted waters, then we will try to get them better living conditions.
